A global synthesis of the latest Ordovician Hirnantian brachiopod faunas

open access: yesTransactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences, 1988
ABSTRACTA global review of new and existing data on the distribution of uppermost Ordovician (Hirnantian) brachiopods indicates the existence of at least three biogeographically distinct faunas. The typical Hirnantia fauna characterised subtropical and temperate latitudes and comprised a variety of ecological associations; the fauna reached its acme ...

Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) brachiopod faunas across Baltoscandia: A global and regional context

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016
A diverse, typical Hirnantia brachiopod fauna from terminal Ordovician strata in Latvia extends the distribution of the Kosov Province across much of the Baltic Palaeoplate into the deeper-water facies of the East Baltic.

Taphonomy of exceptional sponge preservation in the Hirnantian Anji Biota, China

Journal of the Geological Society, 2022
The Anji Biota is a unique deposit with exceptionally preserved sponges and other organisms in deep-water, uppermost Ordovician mudstone of Zhejiang Province, China. The sponge fossils preserve remarkable details including carbonaceous preservation of soft tissues and axial filaments of spicules, but the taphonomy of the deposit has not previously been

The end-Ordovician glaciation and the Hirnantian Stage: A global review and questions about Late Ordovician event stratigraphy

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2010
This paper proposes a global review of Hirnantian event stratigraphy. The Hirnantian GSSP in south China is tentatively correlated with latest Ordovician strata from the peri-Gondwanan "glacial" regions.

Steep oceanic DIC δ13C depth gradient during the Hirnantian Glaciation [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews
The Hirnantian carbon isotopic excursion (HICE) was characterized by a positive δ13C excursion (up to ∼ + 7‰) of oceanic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC).

Organic carbon, sea level and carbonate weathering controls on marine carbon isotope perturbations across the Hirnantian glaciation

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters
The Hirnantian isotopic carbon excursion (HICE) records a dramatic perturbation to the global carbon cycle across the Late Ordovician Hirnantian glaciation.

Environmental changes in the Hirnantian (upper Ordovician) of the Prague Basin, Czechoslovakia

Geological Journal, 1989
AbstractSedimentary sequences through the uppermost Ordovician (Hirnantian), Kosov Formation, are described. The Kosov Formation is a shale‐dominated formation with two thin horizons of sandy diamictites near the base and two ‘flysch’ units separated by shales forming the main part of the formation, which is overlain abruptly by Silurian graptolitic ...

Pre‐Hirnantian Ashgill climatically warm event in the Mediterranean region

Lethaia, 2003
Compilation of the marine, benthic megafossils from approximately the mid-Ashgill of the Mediterranean region, including much of Central and Southern Europe plus North Africa, and elsewhere indicates a warm interval featuring bioclastic limestone and a warm climate marine fauna.

Circular, Cryogenic Structures from the Hirnantian Deglaciation Sequence (Anti-Atlas, Morocco)

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2013
Abstract More than a hundred circular structures are observed at the topmost part of the Late Ordovician glaciogenic record in the central Anti-Atlas, southern Morocco. The structures were formed in the outer glaciated platform and characterize the Hirnantian deglaciation sequence.
